Portishead - Dummy

A truly magnificent album, 'Dummy' came out in 1995 and changed the way a lot of people approach dance music. Mixing classic movie soundtracks with catchy beats, interesting sound effects and Beth Gibbons' husky, cigarette-fuelled voice produced a record that, even over a decade on, still sounds better than just about any modern r 'n' b CD you'd care to mention.

Think an even darker, even more cynical Massive Attack and you're around where Portishead lie. This is exceptional stuff, but don't take my word for it; go here instead and sample it for yourself - http://rapidshare.com/files/50844097/Dummy.zip.html
